Slice the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Season the tomatoes with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 7

If desired, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes for a tangy, caramelized touch.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the tomatoes for 35-40 minutes, or until they become soft, slightly caramelized, and wrinkled at the edges.

Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
